Do you fear death?

I do. Maybe because I'm not religious. Probably I'm thinking about this because my mom died 2 yrs ago and today my dad had a heart attack and is the hospital and I can feel his fear and I know I would feel the same.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Hugs to you hun. No, I do not fear death at all. I know that when that day comes, I will be dwelling in the house of the Lord for eternity with Him. I have yet to find anything that equals the peace of knowing that. Best wishes.

I don't fear death because I believe that when I pass away I'll go to be with my Heavenly Father, but I do hope it's not a painful or slow passing. I would like to see my daughter grow up and live a long, happy life, but I trust in the Lord that His will for me is right and He will take care of all the details:-)

Yes and no. Sometimes I think of the people I will leave behind or that will go before me. I think of what would happen if my DH left before I do. But I try not to think about it too often. Hugs to you!

I think it is pretty normal to be scared when faced with death. Would it help either you or your dad to figure out exactly what you are afraid of? I'm not religious either, so I'm not worried about what happens to me. But I am scared about what would happen to my son without me. And I would be sad that I'd be missing out on all the fun of living. If you can figure out what specifically is frightening, there might be some ways to make it less scary. I wish you and your father the best.
